| 3 | +== Log in for the first time |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +Once you or your developers have successfully installed Decidim, and created an organization in the System panel, you should |
| 6 | +receive an email asking you to complete your account creation. |
| 7 | +If you didn't receive an invitation email, ask the person in charge of the system administration to add you as an administrator. |

| 11 | +The invitation email redirects you to a form so you can finish setting up your account with your nickname, name, and password. |

| 15 | +== Discover the administration dashboard |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +=== Access the administration dashboard |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +After logging in, you can see the platform as a participant, but it's not where you can configure and manage the platform. |
| 20 | +To access the administration dashboard, or administration panel, you can click in three different items: |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +. The "Admin dashboard" button at the left of the administrator header only administrators can see. |
| 23 | +. The "Edit" button at the right of the administrator header. |
| 24 | +. The "Admin dashboard" button in the drop-down list available when you click your account avatar. |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +image::admin_dashboard_menu.png[Decidim Admin Dashboard in user menu] |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +The "Edit" button redirects to the administration of the space you're seeing in the participant panel, whereas the other two buttons |
| 29 | +redirect to the administration dashboard. |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +=== Administrators terms of service |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +For your first time accessing to the administration of Decidim, you are asked to review the administration terms of service. |
| 34 | +Click on the "I agree with this terms" button to be able to start configuring the platform. |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +image::admin_tos_pending.png[Decidim Admin Dashboard in user menu] |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +Those terms of service can be useful for you if you start inviting other administrators to the platform, and you need them to be aware |
| 39 | +of specific privacy rules, or anything relevant for them before they have access to the administration. |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +Those terms of service can be configured in the xref:admin:configuration.adoc[Configuration panel]. |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +=== Explanation of the dashboard |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +Once you accepted the administrator terms of service, you can see the dashboard. |
| 46 | +On a new instance, almost no data is displayed, but you can see how it looks like on an active instance: |

| 53 | +. *Activity*: number of participants and admins that logged in the last month, last week and last day. |
| 54 | +. *Metrics*: the graphics for the evolution of multiple components inside of Decidim: |
| 55 | +. *Admin log*: last actions made by all the administrators in the platform. |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | +== Administration navigation |
